‘In today’s world of flux, all of us are constantly juggling various aspects of our lives and wishing for balance. There are many books which are written with the aim of helping us to discover within ourselves how to tackle and deal with our varied emotions. Anjana Sen with her latest book What’s Your Superpower? takes readers through a discovery of Ultra Special Senses, all of 15, within each of us to help deal with different situations in life. Since she is from a medical background and her interests include research around neurosciences, the same is reflected in her book to help us make connections. What helps to lighten the scientific aspects is the introduction of Tan Tan (illustrated by her) who is a reflection of the reader in situations we can relate to. The conversations between the author and Tan Tan make those parts endearing. Those interested in the connection of neurosciences and emotions will find plenty of it in this book.’

‘A brilliantly simplified text, detailing complex concepts of the subconscious and conscious states of mind at play in our development of self-worth, resilience and leadership qualities. With a firmly rooted background in neuroscience, the author gives very astute insights into our Ultra Special Senses and allows us to analyse ourselves very subtly. By the time we have absorbed one concept and applied it to ourselves, we notice ourselves smiling and turning the page.

A must-read book for those aspiring to be in leadership roles, and also those attempting to understand and influence human behaviour.

Dr Anjana Sen makes an extremely credible and intelligent effort to introduce us to wisdom, through understanding of concepts that govern our mind and influence social interactions. This book emerges as an understated, elegant, scientific guide to recognition and development of an ultra-special sensitivity towards fellow beings.

Advantage humanity!’
